Event Summary
Westminster Insight’s popular Building Safety Conference returns on 10th February 2026. Bringing together registered social housing providers, local authorities, fire authorities, and the construction industry, this conference will provide a timely update on the ongoing changes to the building safety system in England.
With the implementation of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 recommendations and the introduction of residential Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs), hear from experts and stakeholders on key reforms, including regulatory changes, building safety case management, and updated guidance on fire safety regulations, with Approved Document B.
Our expert speakers will spotlight the key changes from the Building Safety Act and understand what they mean for your organisation. We will cover expanded duty holder responsibilities, second staircase requirements, and next steps for Construction Products Reform. Key stakeholders will share the latest updates on the Building Safety Levy, Cladding Safety Scheme and funding distributions, discussing the impact of new changes on viability and delivery. The Building Safety Levy will come into effect from 1st October 2026. Find out more about how the levy will work in practice, including how it is calculated and the exemptions.
The Building Safety Regulator was consolidated to a single construction regulator in October 2025. We will provide insights into the impact of the transition, as well as the role and compliance expectations of the new Regulator. Hear how strengthened coordination between the Regulator, local authorities, and housing providers can remove barriers to progress, receive updates on the ongoing review defining higher-risk buildings, and learn about the full set of recommendations for statutory guidance on approved documents, expected in early 2026.
Clarify your duties with expert guidance on Gateways 2 and 3, safety case documentation requirements, and fulfilling the Duty to Remediate. Takeaway practical steps to stay compliant with evolving regulations.
Discover the priorities of the Remediation Bill and how the proposed National Remediation System can streamline your processes. You will hear how you can meet compliance deadlines, manage non-compliant developers, and about the support that is available for social landlords.
Attend to gain a full day of expert insights, practical guidance, and networking with peers across housing, construction, and regulatory sectors. Leave equipped with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to navigate the evolving building safety landscape, ensure compliance, and build a safer, more resilient future for your tenants and community.
